Bug sweeps: wiretap & bug detection

Can you imagine what people are learning about your personal life or business if they've tapped your phone or bugged your home or office?

Are people finding out your secrets or personal business?

Are you scheduling a highly confidential meeting or conference?

Is confidential information about your business leaking out?

Does your phone often ring once and then stop?

Did you have a break-in at your home or business and nothing was taken?

Do you have an overly suspicious spouse or significant other?

Do others know about your conversations even when you talk from the privacy of your vehicle?

Do you think you might be under covert video surveillance?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may be under electronic surveillance. Your home, office, vehicle or computer may be "bugged," or otherwise compromised. Don't go out and order a "bug detector" or "phone tap detector" off the Internet, because most of that equipment is junk. And even the good equipment is useless unless you are highly trained to use it. You need to contact us, the sooner the better.

If electronic devices or programs have been placed in your home, office, business, vehicle, or computer network, Sherlock Investigations will locate them, neutralize them, and help you find out who placed them.

Of course, our services are discreet. We'll come to your home or office at a time most convenient to you, and at a time that would arouse the least suspicion.

Considering what people may be finding out about you or your business, the rates for a TSCM sweep are inexpensive. No job is too large or too small. So contact Sherlock Investigations today.

NOTE: Sherlock Investigations specialize in the New York, New Jersey, Connnecticut, Massachusetts area, but can make arrangements to go anywhere in the continental U.S.

Our rates are $350 an hour. There is a two-hour minimum for vehicles, and a four-hour minimum for buildings. We may impose a $75 an hour travel fee.

Special: Repeat sweeps within 3 months are discounted 50%.

PLEASE NOTE: (1) DO NOT call from a phone or area that you think may be under electronic surveillance. Do not email Sherlock from a computer that you think might be compromised. (2) If you have reason to think that any kind of law enforcement agency has you under surveillance, go somewhere else. Sherlock cannot help you. (3) Sherlock Investigations does not install bugs or wiretaps. Please do not ask.

About Me

Hi, I'm Skipp Porteous. I'm a New Yorker who lives in Manhattan. I specialize in wiretap and "bug" detection. The thing I like most about being a private investigator is being able to help people. I firmly believe that if you give, it will be given back to you.
I researched the unsolved crime of the century for 3 years and wrote the book "Into The Blast: The True Story of D.B. Cooper." It was published by Adventure Books of Seattle, and the editor of Adventure Book, Robert Blevins, co-authored it with me.
